willie Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Had some time today, so i am trying to get everything ready to have her painted. I am also trying to get the interior organized. Ran into a problem with the seat belts. Some say 10K72 and some say 4M70. i am guessing the later are incorrect for my 72 build. lol doesn't matter they are all in bad shape. Have to get some pics to you guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to go Willie, we are all pulling for you. You have been working on this car so long and not had it available to drive I am sure you can hardly wait. You are right, we really are anxious to see pictures of it. Keep plugging away my friend and if you have issues getting the pictures of her in her new coats (of paint) email them to me and I will make sure they are posted for you. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll leave her there till she’s happy 😃... 10 days later , picked her up today after her beauty appt,,, new headliner “ like original style, looks gooood “... plus driver seat repair where some jealous car show attendee knifed my seat... but it’s all fixed now ... wasn’t too bad I don’t guess... 300$ bucks for labor plus the new headliner... she’s ready to go home and I’m glad ! 😎😃😄...... PS . Don’t forget to order new headliner insulation , you’ll need it after 50 hot years 👍🏻👍🏻🌞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveler Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Yesterday I started to prep the 12 bolt I got for install, my first impulse was change the oil, throw it in. I decided to put new axel seals just because it would be easier to do it with the rear on jack stands, that’s when I found the left axel bearing was missing a roller. Axel has some pitting in the bearing path, so it will be cheaper to do it once than see if it will last, so I now have to order axels. NAPA has the bearing in stock so this morning I’ll be off to the parts store. Do it right do it once, see you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Good catch, you may want to check everything over good before ordering any parts. May be able to save on shipping if you need anything else.
